Can I Import an EPS file into onshore to work on it

mario_darceuil

I have an EPS image of a deer. I just need the outline in 2d so I can put holes for bolts and screws. Is it possible to import this into onshape? If not can I enter the xy ordinates of the image to get the profile in 2d into onshape?

You might wan't to convert eps image to png or jpg and then import to Onshape (I'm not sure if eps is supported).

Then open new sketch - insert dxf/image - your imported image should appear on list - insert - add one dimension to set the scale.

Then you can draw on top of your image and trace the edges - no automation here.

You could try this nifty little tool then import the resulting dxf into your sketch
